Jocelyn Bioh's comedy — a Manhattan Theatre Club production closing soon at the Samuel J. Friedman — sets a social-hierarchy battle inside a Ghanaian boarding school, where a queen bee's grip on the Miss Universe dream meets a well-timed rival. EyeOnBroadway hasn't weighed in, though Broadway Scorecard puts it at 84/100 across 32 critics. Trying to decide if it's worth catching before it closes?
Paulina, the reigning Queen Bee at Ghana's most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Universe pageant. But the mid-year arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter – and Paulina’s hive-minded friends. Jocelyn Bioh's buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.
